I dont think you understand my statement, though I indeed understand your point, however I am not talking about the mutation involved in the design of the neuron itself, I am talking about the mutations involved in the genome which would call for the addition_of_those_neurons.
Logically, the neuron itself supposedly evolved at some point in time, if, as the scenario was presented states, that the neuron as we know it today evolved 3 million years ago, there would be some genetic information which would state how many neurons would exist, call it "quantitative info" or whatever. Then, there would also be genetic information which would tell each neuron how to connect with the others call that "connect info". Those different types of info are seperate and distinct from the mere design of the neuron itself.

There isn't anything random about it. Take any two humans and count their brain cells, you'll find that they vary by millions if not billions of cells.
Sure, depending upon the age and other factors, however most estimates give a number of 100 billion at your prime age of 20. web page Your right. I was incorrect to think that the addition of one brain cell itself would be a monumental discovery, thank you for clearing that up. What I meant to say was that one cell is very very complex, and science does not yet know how even one cell could have 'evolved', I can see how you might have thought I was refering to the addition of one cell by the way I phrased it, I will clear it up in a future post about cell structure perhaps.
My overall point is that the growth of the human brain would follow two rules if evolution were true:
1.dna coding for more cells, the positioning, functioning and interconnections of those cells has grown by a certain rate(unless it all evolved spontaneously)
2.Given the amount of time proportional to the amount of dna involved in coding the current amount of interconnected brain cells, we would be able to see marked differences in brain sizes and cell amounts today. Which we cannot observe, at least not at the rate which evolution would require.
If I have my estimates wrong, please tell me how much we can expect the brain to grow in size, neuron amount and function within, say, a hundred year period. Or even in one years time. I would be very curious to know what this evolution rate is and even more curious to find out HOW this evolution occurs. If you say that evolution would not occur randomly, what mechanism will cause the addition of brain cells in our head?
Evolutionists estimate that our brain has grown in size from 400 to 1350 cubic centimeters. I think overall my estimates at least represent a simple picture of the alleged evolution. Perhaps someone has a better rate?
